[mythtv-users] XBox IR remote & lirc?

[Victor]

I agree it does seem to be a generic issue, however I can't resolve it. 
I followed the steps that lirc gave to edit the rules on the devfs and
still no dice.  No there is no node only /dev/lircd which isn't it. 
Someone said they got it working on 2.6.10-xbox kernel so I might play
with that soon.  BTW, I'm netbooting, don't know if that complicates
anything.
